Yestermorrow Spring '26 Speaker Series: The Stone Hut: Restoration from the Ashes with Katelyn Hudson 3-25-26 Originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935, the Stone Hut on Mount Mansfield served as a warming shelter for hikers and skiers enjoying Vermont’s highest peak. In late 2015, a fire gutted the historic structure, raising urgent questions about preservation. Through a remarkable collaborative effort led by the Vermont Forests, Parks, and Recreation in partnership with Donald P Blake Jr., Inc. and Northern Architects, the Stone Hut was thoughtfully rebuilt and reopened less than a year later. This talk explores the hut’s layered history, and its post-fire reconstruction from a member of the design team.
